It's all because My Saviour lives
I once was lost but now forgiven
When on that Cross He bore my sins
Then woke from dead now He is risen!
It's all because My Jesus saves
He reached in sin, loosed Satan's binds
He pulled me out the Devil's grip
So now I live by His design!
It's all because He can forgive
That now I've got a second chance
To walk with Him each night and day
No matter what the circumstance!
It's all because My God is there
To catch me every time I fall
He stood by me as sin I trod,
He'll stand by me at judgement call!
It's all because My Saviour bled
He washed away my every sin
He picked me up and rescued me
Now to live each day for Him!
It's all because My Jesus knows
Each weak or faltered step I take
He holds me up and strengthens me
As now I live for His Name's sake!
It's all because My Saviour cares
He's gone before, prepared my Home
My heart He's filled with so much joy
Just thinking 'bout that place I'll roam!
It's all because My Jesus loves
He leads me, guides us and forgives
He makes me want to shout and sing-
"It's ALL because MY SAVIOUR LIVES!"

In these moments I've spent here
I've thought about my life;
I realized all I've put you through
the sorrow, pain and strife.

I'm sorry, Dear, I have to say,
I've caused so many tears;
No matter what, you've stood by me
so strong for all these years!

I don't deserve a girl like you,
a blessing all my own;
I can't imagine living one day
without you and alone!

You've often made the hard times pale,
those times that seemed so bleak;
You stayed so bold and fought so hard
those days I'd fallen weak!

I'll never find the words to say,
how much your true love means;
You're on my mind and in my heart,
you're filling up my dreams!

I've prayed I'd find you all my life,
I'd almost given in;
Now that I've got you to myself,
won't ever lose again!

You're everything I'll ever want,
you're ALL my dreams come true;
My life now makes such perfect sense
since moment I found you!

As I ran from God above
for far too many years,
My life filled up with burdens
and caused so many tears!

As they found their knees in prayer
my family and close friends,
They prayed for God to wake me
before I reached the end.

Yes, my God has stood by me
as much harder I became;
Felt I always had control
when I'd fall and cast the blame!

Let me tell you, here and now,
with my friends, mom and dad
All praying for me daily
no chance I ever had!

You see with prayers as those
God heard near every hour;
My name they all cried out
all praying for God's power!

God answered all their prayers
He's gotten a hold of me;
He wiped my slate so clean
and from burdens, set me free!

As daily now I walk,
with my Savior, hand in hand;
He fills my life with joy
and by Him, I will stand!

My God, as I now pray,
to help me all my life;
Please guide and show me the way
through Earth and all its strife!

I pray you'll show me how
Your steps to fully trace;
Thanks to all who prayed for me,
and Your such amazing grace!
Kenny Whiting Nov 2016
You blow my mind all through each day,
you rock my whole wide world;
Each time I see you walking by,
you still amaze me girl!

For with each hour that I'm with you
I know that I'm so blessed;
You've always been so good to me,
far better than the best!

I stand in awe at strength you have,
true strength so hard to find;
You've not once wained in loving me
with love so near divine!

So as this brand new day unfolds,
just know you've done your part;
With loving touch you've mended now,
this once so shattered heart!

Just know I'm here, I'll never leave,
come stormy skies or blue;
'Cause everyday you're by my side
I'm so amazed by you!
Kenny Whiting Oct 2016
So tell me why you had to leave,
   just why you couldn't stay;
Your time cut short upon this earth,
   just wish for one more day!

You made your mark before you left,
   a place inside my heart;
An empty space that can't be filled
   so long as we're apart!

I try so hard to be so strong,
   so lonely now it seems;
What's harder than to be alone-
   to live with shattered dreams!

Your memory fills my mind each day,
   my mind is all a buzz;
I cherish so but one small thing,
   this photo of just us!

I carry it so close to me,
   I'll never let it go;
And every time I take a glance,
   your beauty still aglow!

It's all I've left of you for now,
   my princess and best friend;
Until that day at Heaven's gates
   I'll hold you once again!

You've always been my Angel girl,
   but now within my dreams;
I see you soaring high and free
   since now you've got your wings!
I found it an incredible honor to be asked by a friend of mine to pen the words of a tribute to him and his precious Angel whom was taken Home to be with The Lord earlier this year!! Fly high Allisa Marie!! You are truly your daddy's Angel Girl!!
Kenny Whiting May 2017
Right now I found what I've not had,
    just since I found my place;
It's holding her so close to me,
   to see my angel's face.

You see, she's saved me many times,
   once heartbroke and alone;
She's mended now that broken heart,
   to soften heart of stone.

She means much more than most to me,
   my angel from above;
A package sent from God Himself,
    for only me to love.

Now when it comes a long days end,
   to keep her safe from harm;
I wrap her up and reap the joy
   of Heaven in my arms!
Kenny Whiting Nov 2016
Not long ago I lost a love,
she left me on my own;
She turned this heart so full of love,
into a heart of stone!

I felt I'd always be alone,
I'd never find real love;
Till you appeared now in my life,
as sent from Heaven above!

You waltzed into my life one day,
oh girl, you left your mark;
With just few tender words you spoke
you softened this 'ole heart!

You smiled at me that gorgeous smile,
you know it wasn't fair;
Those baby blues pierced deep inside,
I fell in love right there!

A stroke of luck, an answered prayer
too good as though it seems;
I'd finally found that girl I saw,
the Angel in my dreams!
Kenny Whiting Apr 2016
When looking at your gorgeous face,
   the truth I can't deny;
I find myself so lost inside
   those precious Angel eyes!

My God Himself took special care
   not easy to appease,
He took a glimpse of you at birth
   His precious Masterpiece!

Your quite a rare and special breed,
    A beauty out and in,
And every time you cross my mind
   I fall in love again!

You feel i might be stretching it,
   or telling you a lie;
Look from my view, you too will see,
   an Angel through my eyes!
Kenny Whiting Mar 2017
When looking at your gorgeous face,
   one truth I can't deny;
I find myself so lost inside
   amazing Angel eyes!

My God Himself took special care
   not easy to appease,
He took a glimpse of you at birth
   His precious Masterpiece!

Your quite a rare and special breed,
    A beauty out and in,
And every time you cross my mind
   I fall in love again!

You feel i might be stretching it,
   or telling you a lie;
Look from my view, you too will see,
   an Angel through my eyes!
When you truly love someone you deal with the ups and downs and  overlook the flaws to see the bigger picture .... someone special who loves you just as much even with your own faults!
Kenny Whiting Mar 2016
There's certain people God sends down
  To bless us here on earth
Although you may not see them there
  They've watched 'ore you since birth!

They're often times just standing 'round
  So close right by your side
You'll never know they're standing there
  Can't see them if you tried!

They're hidden all around your world
  The average "Joe" they seem
You'll never see them casting spells
  Or popping up in dreams!

They don't have massive sets of wings
  Or mutant ways to fly
They don't  appear from thinnest air
  Or warp up in the sky!

They're human just like you and me
  With such a simple task
They follow best My God's design
  Do everything He asks!

You'll feel their presence when at times
  He needs a helping hand
A human touch to show His love
  To us, a mortal man!

Those special people in your life,
  A touch of God's own love
Those special friends He sends to us,
  His Angels from above!!
As each one of us run life's race, there are people God has placed all along the "racetrack of life" to encourage us in our weak moments, help us up when we fall, and even cheer us on as we are doing well. Whether we see them there or not, they have been there all along. I thank God for these family, friends and loved ones He has blessed me with. Each one are truly Angels from Above!
Kenny Whiting Apr 2016
Are you sure your family knows your love,
   if tomorrow never comes?
Are you sure you love will last through life,
   when your last day here is done?

Are you often times not quite the man,
   My God would have you be?
Are you ever not the father type,
   that your son and daughter need?

Are you not right there to hold them close
   when going through life's pain?
Are you never once so focused on,
   what true love has to gain?

Are you often times not by her side,
   when your wife is shedding tears?
Are you mostly gone when she needs you there,
   fighting sorrow, pain and fear?

Are you stuck on things the don't matter much,
   like money, fortune or fame?
Are you gonna see the without you there,
   they will never be the same?

Are you ever there just to be their dad,
   when your children scrape a knee?
Are you always busy doing other things,
   thinking real love comes for free?

Are you asking God to forgive you for
   all the times you failed them bad?
Are you ever once gonna see they need,
   a husband, father and dad?
Kenny Whiting Jan 2017
How many times now has she left,
   through sorrow pain or strife;
Or has she ever turned away,
   at any point in life?

She'll always be your ONE true love,
    she's shown you love so strong;
We'll never find another love,
    that's close to love from mom!!

God placed her here to teach you things,
    to guide you with her love,
To stand by you no matter what,
   as Jesus does above!

You ran to her with wounded knee,
   she kept you safe from harm;
You learned so fast there's no one place,
    as safe as momma's arms!

And when the trials of life seem hard,
   or someone breaks your heart;
We all run home to talk to mom,
   her love will never part!

I tell mine now just all she means,
   I may have lived all wrong,
But never once you left my side,
   I LOVE YOU SO MUCH MOM!!
Kenny Whiting Mar 2016
"At Last"

At last I see what true love is
As we battled through the years
Not ever once was I alone
You were always standing there!
You've always been so solid
A pillar in life's sand
No matter what the struggles then
You always had a plan!
I know i've let you down sometimes
Not always there to hold
I've seen those times with tears aflow
You still stood strong and bold!
I know you will forgive me
Your love will be no less
I thank My God, He sent you here,
With your love I'm so blessed!
You're quite the best example
What true love's meant to be
I'm sorry dear it took so long
For me finally once to see!
Although in life at times it seems
We'd crumble from the pain
We made it through these storms once more
Just dancing in life's rain
Let's put the hurt behind us now
The struggles from the past
I'll be right here to hold you now
Forever more at last!
Kenny Whiting Apr 2016
This lonesome earth is not my home
I'm just wanderin' through
I'm waiting on my chariot ride
To home beyond the blue!
There's just a few more roads to cross
A few more wars to fight
There's but one moment left on earth
Until I take my flight!
What glorious moment that will be
He'll come with outstretched hand
To lead us to that marvelous place
Our Home in Beulah Land!
With sudden splendor He'll arrive
His Angels gathered 'round
We'll know that moment when it comes
When Heaven's trumpets sound!
I'm now so ready for that day
To see My Saviour arrive
Could be this morning, noon and night
We'll break through Heavenly skies!
I hope your ready when rapture comes
To take us to our Home,
If you've trusted in God's saving grace
On Heaven's shores you'll roam!
We can't imagine what glory will be
What splendor there awaits,
When on that day we'll walk and run
Through Heaven's Pearly Gates!
Kenny Whiting Jun 2017
This lonesome earth is not my home,
   I'm just wanderin' through;
I'm waiting for my chariot ride,
   to home beyond the blue.

There's just a few more roads to cross,
   A few more wars to fight;
There's but one moment left on earth,
   until I take that flight.

What glorious moment that will be,
   He'll come with outstretched hand;
To lead us to a glorious place,
   our Home in Beulah Land!

With sudden splendor He'll arrive,
   His Angels gathered 'round;
We'll know that moment when it comes,
   hear Heaven's trumpets sound.

I'm now so ready for that day,
   to see My Saviour arrive;
Could be this morning, noon and night,
   we'll break through yonder skies.

I hope your ready when He comes,
   to take us Home sweet Home;
You've trusted in God's saving grace,
On Heaven's shores you'll roam.

We can't imagine what glory will be,
   what splendor there awaits;
When on that day we'll walk and run,
   through Heaven's Pearly Gates!
Kenny Whiting Mar 2017
Let's take a stroll here in this time,
    a stroll through Glory Land;
To paint a masterpiece of old,
   by brush in Master's Hand.

The background hails of purest blue,
   in Heaven's by and by;
No beauty matches close on earth,
   to yonder in the sky.

A pathway marked by shining light,
   each soul anticipates;
What grandest beauty He'll unveil,
   behind those pearly gates.

They're opened now so step inside,
   to see all glory there;
To feel no pain, no hurt at all,
   nor shed but one more tear.

The blind will see the lame man walk,
   first step on purest gold;
Each one of those who've lost a love
   will have them there to hold.

Our Lord and King will shed His Light,
    with Him we're soon to stand;
That oh so glorious day,
   we'll see our Beulah Land!
Can you imagine the beauty that awaits us?
Kenny Whiting Mar 2017
So have I told you lately dear,
   without you I'd be blue;
I've fallen far beyond myself,
   so lost in loving you!

You came into my life one day,
   you snuck your way on in;
'Cause never in a million years,
   I dreamed I'd love again.

You waltzed right in my life to stay,
   you saw it in the cards;
No one on earth could fill that void,
   or soften this 'ole heart.

You went to work just showin' me,
    what real love's meant to be;
You broke each bind around my heart,
   to set my love so free.

I haven't told you lately dear,
   how thankful that I am;
For showing me what love's about;
   for savin' this 'ole man.

You've gave me hope when all was lost,
    I'd all but given up;
On finding what I'd never found,
    this beauty of your love.
Have you told her lately that you love her? Have you thanked her for being such a blessing of love in your life? Don't delay, tell her today!
Kenny Whiting Nov 2016
Oh Lord, I have a BIG request,
which I must ask you now;
Before I find a girl I love,
I pray you show me how.

I know Your word is very clear
on what a girl should be;
Don't let my feelings mix me up,
but give me eyes to see.

Keep me from girls who turn my heart
from You with looks or charm;
Protect me from temptations and
those things which bring me harm.

Help me discern all those sweet words
and actions which are fake;
Guide me to see what's right and wrong,
my love for You is at stake!

Help me consider girls,
with lives that would please You;
Whose focus is to serve You well
And do what You would do!

Lord, help me find a girl that's wise,
that seeks and does what's right;
So if I choose to walk with her,
we'll both walk in Your light.

Show me a girl that knows You well,
that spends much time with You;
So she can know and do Your will
and love just like You do.

I know that if I follow You,
and put You first in all;
The girl I find will be Your choice,
our purity won't fall.

Prepare me, Lord, to be a boy,
that such a girl would choose;
To grow with her, close to Your heart-
with You, we cannot lose!

Please help me to find this girl
when your time is right;
Help her to show me half the love
my mom has all my life!
Kenny Whiting Mar 2016
Everytime I think about,
  what My Gods done for me;
The more I give my life to Him,
  more mercy I can see!

It blows my mind to think how long,
  I ran the other way;
Thank God, My Shepherd found this sheep,
  This one that went astray!

He called my name, then brought me in,
  from sinful life I lived;
He talked to me and paved the way,
  My sins to ALL forgive!

Now each new step I take in life,
  My Lord now close beside;
He walks with me each night and day;
  He matches every stride!

Such joy and grace I've came to know,
  since God came in my soul;
Such hapiness and peace I have,
  Since giving Him control!

When now in life the hard times come,
  His arms are open wide;
He gives me shelter in those arms,
  A loving place to hide!

Now looking toward my Heavenly home,
  since death has lost it's sting;
I'm sheltered now from all life's storms,
  Beneath My Saviour's Wing!!
So here it is a brand new week, a whole new week of love, adventure and blessings, as well as a whole new week of trials and struggles. The greatest thing about being one of His Children is that in good times and especially in those hard or stormy times of life, we have a special place we can go to for shelter and protection! A place we can rest in the peace God's Love brings as well as a safe place to regain our strength to face what comes next in life! You too can find solace here beneath My Saviour's Wings!
Kenny Whiting Nov 2016
You've made it known, your love for me,
so many times before;
And yet there's one thing you forget,
I'll always love you more!

You bring a smile upon my face,
each time you cross my mind;
The best friend that a man could have
or anyone could find!

It may have been some cruel joke
God played upon this Earth;
Within mine days He made us both,
for each our moms to birth!

We met so young, began to bond,
in Nashville, Tennessee;
Yet even now, so far apart
the best of friends that can be!

You said it best in cards you sent
we're stuck together like glue;
To show the world what friendship's like
this love twixt me and you!

So when time comes to wrap you up
I'd walk 500 miles;
to hold you close in loving arms
and see your gorgeous smile!

For now we live so far apart,
too far at times, it seems;
But listen now, I'll see you soon
if only in your dreams!
Kenny Whiting Nov 2016
So now you feel your problems big,
there's just no end in sight;
I know My Lord can solve each one,
if just you'll let Him fight!

Get on your knees and learn to pray,
to leave each one with Him;
He'll solve each problem in His way
yes, in His time, you'll win!

There's times He'll have you fight yourself,
His Word will be your sword;
Then other times He'll have you sit,
those times when less is more!

He'll show His power in many ways,
for always will He lead;
If just you'll give Him all control,
your every word and deed!

There's nothing that My Lord can't do,
each action is His Will;
He'll show you best when hard times come
if just you'll once be still!
Kenny Whiting Oct 2016
When someone leaves this life on earth,
   no matter how you try;
I'ts never easy letting go
   or saying last goodbyes!

Their time cut short, they left too soon,
   their work on earth now done;
The Lord saw fit to call them home,
   their war on earth now won!

They're moved up to a better place,
   their Home in Beulah Land;
No pain or sorrow evermore
   once touched by Master's Hand!

They're walking down the purest streets
   with Jesus as their light;
They'll never shed another tear
   not one more lonely night!

They've got a home, a place to live,
   their bonds of pain now freed;
No bit of sadness 'ere again
   beside the crystal sea!

So as you grieve, remember this,
   they're in a better place;
They're better now than 'ere before
   with Jesus face to face!
Kenny Whiting Nov 2016
I know that I have left you now,
so heartbroken and alone;
Don't grieve for me, I'm more than good,
since now I'm Home sweet Home!

I just walked through Big Pearly Gates,
saw Peter standing by;
I met the Angels one by one,
they taught me how to fly!

Then Paul and Silas showed me 'round,
through srtreets all paved with gold;
Each saint's so young and happy here,
it's true, not one soul's old!

I just heard someone call my name,
I turned in time to see;
A group of loved ones gone before,
come running up to me!

You won't believe the music here,
the Angels have a band;
I met my Jesus, face to face,
and touched His nail-scarred hands!

I'm still in awe, I feel so good
no aches and pains at all;
The blind man now can see for once,
the lame man standing tall!

So now you see, 'Tis Glory Land
no longer that 'ole world;
When Jesus calls I'll meet you here
behind these Gates of Pearl!
Kenny Whiting May 2016
Yes I've seen that I'm the blessed one,
  in more than every way;
When I first met you, my mother,
   On my very first birth day!

Oh yes, My God made perfect sense
   as following Master's plan;
When He placed you as my mother,
   named me, your biggest fan!

I wouldn't change the smallest thing,
   nor'd ever chose another;
So i tell you now, I'm more than blessed,
   to have you as my mother!

So mother, you're much more than
   just a woman who gave birth;
You're a masterpiece and then some,
   that my God sent down to earth!
Kenny Whiting Nov 2016
It doesn't take a genie's spell
  to change your life today;
It only takes determined mind,
   to live a different way!

We all have done those certain things,
   we wished we'd never done;
Or overlooked important things
  to live our life all wrong.

Don't ever think you can't change now,
   it's never quite to late;
To make up time you've thrown away,
   or change past choices made!

Just start today, don't put it off,
   to choose to do what's right;
To stand your ground for better life,
   to finally win this fight!

Now hug and hold those one's you've hurt,
   don't fear to shed a tear;
Just show them by your actions now,
   This year's a brand new year!
Kenny Whiting May 2017
They've given all as war raged on,
   they gave their best each day;
They fought to free each one of us,
   to see 'ole glory wave!

They stood so strong, so proud and tall,
   our freedom to defend;
That son or daughter, mom or dad,
   that husband, wife, or friend!

Though young or old, some rich or poor,
   each answered beckon call;
They fought to let our freedom ring,
   each soldier gave their all!

The ones that fell, who now have passed,
   who paid the bigger price;
Left loved ones here with broken hearts,
   still lost in silent cries!

Then ones still here, so many ways
  the war has left it's mark;
With scars and shattered dreams they have,
   so many broken hearts!

I take the time to pen these words,
   to stand up to my feet,
Saluting every one who've fought,
   the few, OUR BRAVE ELITE!!
Take the time today to say a prayer for all those whom have lived and died defending this great nation!

Kenny Whiting Mar 2018
So many people hide true hurt,
   they're broken down today;
Crushed from life, so hurt inside,
   secrets full of just heartache.

You've seen them too, they're all around,
   folded wings that used to fly;
Shattered dreams of days gone by,
   broken halos past their shine.

Don't cast your stones, but take some time,
   to show them that you care;
Each  life so precious, truth be known,
   it could be you right there.

So lend a hand to help them up,
   take time for them today;
To brush off life and stand again,
   unfurl wings to fly away.
As you walk through life today, take the time to look around and see those whom are broken and hurting. It could be YOU right where they are so take a moment to lend a hand or even a kind word of encouragement.... life is too precious to waste.
Kenny Whiting Dec 2016
There's been some times in my own past,
   where broken's not the word;
Some times in days and years gone by,
    where living seemed absurd.

I've fallen down, yes down so low,
    I've been down to my knees;
The lowest point that one could bear,
    when dying would bring peace.

Now coming back ten fold as strong,
   I finally found my way;
To beat the odds, stand up again,
   grow stronger day by day.

So don't you once give up on me,
   don't dare to count me out;
To stand so tall above the rest,
   to shatter any doubt!

Stay by my side to see me grow,
    you better hold on tight;
Its gonna be a wild ride,
    to see me win this fight!

There's never been a time on Earth,
or love for just one man;
Then portion of the love we share,
a sign from God's own hand!

We're meant to be together now,
to never be apart;
To stand on love right where we are,
to mend our broken hearts!

So long before the day we met,
we lived our separate lives;
Through good and bad times all the way,
kept focused on the prize!

Those times have made us who we are,
so strong in every way;
We've learned so much about real love,
in life from day to day!

We've put the pain and all the hurt
of past behind us now;
We've took the good and left the bad
to focus on right now!

We kept our heads up, pressing on,
with hopes to find "the One";
God saw our needs and answered prayer
our searching for love now done!

So from this moment here on out,
let's focus on just us;
To be together for ALL time
to build upon this Love!

You may not know right here and now,
   just what you really mean;
I hope you know, I still love you,
   though impossible it seems.

I know at times I let you down,
   with broken heart and sad;
I broke the vows I made to you,
   and crushed the dreams we had.

Oh yes, it's gonna take some time,
   to get back down to me;
But with God's help and bit of time,
   I pray you too will see.

He's given me another chance,
   I'll do the best I can;
To hear you say, "Thats him right there,
   oh yes, I love that man!"

I thank you so for standing by,
   not throwing me away;
I promise you I'll do my best,
   to make you proud one day!

I'm working toward the man I was,
   the "Kenny" you first met;
So if you are a gambling gal,
   on me I'd place your bet!
Kenny Whiting Nov 2016
I'm looking now to western sky
I know He's coming soon;
I'm so prepared to meet Him now,
this morning, night or noon!

My sins are all forgiven now,
my slate has been wiped clean;
My heart so filled with joy each day,
since now I've been redeemed!

I want to meet Him face to face,
to touch His nail scarred hands;
To see that mansion He prepared
my Home in Beulah Land!

Sure, I may have a moment left
a few more wars to fight;
A few more earthly roads to cross,
until my Heavenly Flight!

Though soon to hear those trumpets sound,
from Heaven's Jubilee;
That thunderous roar of chariot wheels,
now headed south for me!

They're comin' fast to pick me up
so Christians gather 'round;
With one swift move they'll scoop us all,
to then be Homeward Bound!

To see those massive gates swing wide,
my chariot flyin' by;
To my new Home forever more
to yonder in the sky!
Kenny Whiting Dec 2016
You may not see the queen she is,
   but when it comes to love,
She's so much more than purest gold,
   my diamond in the rough!

She breathes new life within my soul,
   she's set my heart ablaze,
To strengthen me those times I'm down,
   shed light on darkest days!

She's so much more than just my love,
   my angel from afar;
She's so much more than beautiful,
   my queen, my super star!

So if you think she's not so great,
   look through my eyes to see;
She may not be what perfect is,
   just close enough for me!
Kenny Whiting Nov 2016
My mind won't stop, my heartbeat fast
just heard your voice again.
Regrets I have of times gone past
for all what might have been!

For 30 years we've been best friends
grow stronger day by day
I realized quick you'd stand by me
and be right there to stay!

You've shown me how to love someone
with actions and your deeds.
You've always stooped to help me up
at times I'd been in need!

Oh yes, you've made it ******* me,
to find someone like you-
See what I mean, I'm still alone
can't find someone so true!

So as we both turn 39
I hope you'll think on this
I never dreamed we'd be this close,
full 30 years of bliss!

I know I failed, yes missed my mark,
to make you my own girl;
Yet though I did, you'll always be
my one best friend, My precious pearl!
Kenny Whiting Apr 2016
I feel your love so close to me,
   while looking at the sky;
I sense your watching me right now
   as soft clouds roll on by!

No fear at all within my life,
   like Eagle in the wind;
I know you're always by my side,
   on You I can depend!

Although I fall away sometimes,
   with sins you must abhor;
I feel the devil tug at me,
   as waves tug at the shore!

I've seen your mercy in my life,
   sun shining down in rays;
My sins are all forgiven now,
   as moonlight turns to day!

I feel You working in my life,
   slight touch of guiding Hand;
I know You're present here with me,
   see footprints in life's sand!

I know You've never left me once,
   as lightning danced around;
I've felt so safe within Your arms,
   such peace and love I've found!

You fill my heart with joy each day,
   You take away all pain;
I feel Your love wash over me,
   like standing in the rain!

I thank You Lord for saving me,
   for guidance from above;
I know I'll live my life for You,
   tucked under clouds of love!
Kenny Whiting Jan 2018
She's gorgeous, yet far more than that,
   she's fallen hard for me;
The one that stole my heart away,
   she's all the air I breathe.

She's perfect in her own sweet way,
   just like an angel's dream;
If you could stand right where I'm at,
   you'd see just what I mean.

She's simple in a complex way,
   my sunshine through each night;
She turns my world all upside down,
   yet makes it seem just right.

She's gentle like a drop of rain,
   yet fierce as thunderous roar;
She fights to see each battle won,
   true victor in life's war.

She's soft at heart but strong at will,
   perfection at its best;
A dream come true for me to love,
   each moment I've got left!
True love is unbelievably  simple yet, incredibly complex. Live and love each and every day as it's your last. Hold on to each specific characteristic of her love!
Kenny Whiting Nov 2016
Thank God for all He gives us,
those blessings from above.
Although each one are different,
all bundles full of love!

Each perfect little finger
on such a tiny hand,
A sign of His perfection-
to us a mortal man.

When giggling with such laughter
brings joy to our hearts
We love each little moment
right from the very start!

He knows you'll do your best now
you've proved yourself so true,
Five precious little younguns
to learn the best from you!

These words I write for you,
I hope you will enjoy;
I'm so happy for the birth
of your precious Baby Boy!
Kenny Whiting Jan 2017
Oh yes I'm proud to know for sure,
   I'm goin' Home one day;
But Lord I've got just one request,
   'bout where I'm gonna stay.

You see My Lord you know quite well,
   I'm country through and through;
I have these big 'ole hopes and dreams,
   'bout being there with you.

I know you've got a place for me,
   huge mansion in the sky;
But livin' big ain't ne'er been me,
   no matter how I try!

I'd like to make a bit o' trade:
   my mansion, harp and crown;
For just a simple cabin placed
   on outside edge of town!

I'll give up walking streets of gold,
   for pathway through the woods;
As long as Heavens where I'm at,
   my friends and I'll be good!

I ask for just a piece of land,
    the place I'll hang my wings;
A porch with hooks up in the roof,
  to hold my wife's 'ole swing!

A view of hills with grass so green,
   in shade of big 'ole trees;
The smell of sap caught in the wind,
   will be alright with me!
Kenny Whiting Feb 2017
I've heard about this all my life,
   my Home in Beulah Land;
Those pearly gates and streets of gold,
   all formed by Your own hand.

I hear You've built a mansion there,
   a special place for me;
Its on a hill with greenest grass,
   beside a Crystal Sea!

Now Lord don't take this wrong at all,
   I'm thankful for all things;
But since I'm just a country boy,
   a mansions not my dream.

A little place, just outside town,
   surrounded by huge trees;
The sounds of nature at my door,
   would be morefit for me!

A broken down old picket fence;
   with squeaky wooden gates;
A muddy road not travel worn,
    to me would five star rate!

A tire swing hung 'round a branch,
   the buzz of honeybees;
A bed so full of daffodils,
   a few small dogwood trees.

A cozy place to call my Home,
   a noisy front porch swing;
No more I'd want for all of time,
   but place to hang my wings!

You see My Lord, not hard to please,
    I'm just a simple man;
A cabin made from Heavn'ly logs,
   now THAT'D be Glory Land!
Kenny Whiting Jan 2018
She may not be just what YOU think,
   the perfect girl should be;
But hear me out, my gorgeous girl,
   is perfect just for ME.

You'll never find more gentle love,
   she loves me from her heart;
This type of love, '**** other things,
   what sets my girl apart.

She's stronger than a full grown ox,
   at least in her own mind;
But mess with me, you'll find out quick,
    she'll put you back in line.

Oh sure there's other folks who think,
   she's crazy as can be;
In fact, they're right, she truly is,
   she's CRAZY over ME!!
Happiness is finding that one you can laugh with and love unconditionally! Cherish each moment of your time together today because tomorrow is not promised to any of us!
Kenny Whiting Mar 2018
A precious gift sent straight to me,
   from Heaven's gates above;
Perfection formed in tiny hands,
   held daddy's heart with love.

Amazingly phenomenal,
   and perfect all in one;
She's always there within my heart,
   when every day is done.

She's growing up, yes FAR too fast,
   yet still she holds my world;
Not one could fill a heart so full,
   but daddy's little girl.

She knows for sure this one small thing,
   all though we've been apart;
My princess and my angel,
   still holds her daddy's heart.
No matter how old they get, those precious young'uns still hold their daddy's heart!
Kenny Whiting Feb 2017
If Webster could have found a way,
   defining just your love;
He'd had to paint the closest thing:
   our love from God above!

It's more than kind, far more than pure,
   formed of the rarest breed;
A simple love none else could feel,
   yet everything I need!

It's shown the best through anything,
   just knowing that you care;
It coddles close this heart of mine,
    to feel your presence near!

To see you in my dreams each night,
   to wake up by your side;
Fulfilling now once lonely heart,
   in love I now abide!

Now tryin' to find if just one way,
   to put your love to words;
To tell the truth I'm still at loss,
   your love makes words absurd!
Kenny Whiting Nov 2016
It may be cold and bleak outside,
we may be miles apart;
Yet never can it get me down,
with you inside my heart!

Oh sure, there's days I struggle some,
just missing you so bad;
Until I think about our life,
the good times that we've had!

You bring a smile across my face
with thought of loving you;
The sun will shine within my heart
come stormy skies or blue!

Now any time I miss you so,
I'm all alone it seems;
I close my eyes to drift away
then hold you in my dreams!

Then when I wake I feel your touch,
as though you've left your mark;
A warm embrace of all your space,
reserved inside my heart!
Kenny Whiting Nov 2016
So as you know, I love you, Dear,
I tell you everyday;
Although we live so far apart,
both know we're here to stay!

We make this work the way we do,
as down life's road we go;
Yet I won''t lie, I'll tell you now
I miss my Baby so!

We've been so close for many years
and built upon our trust!
You'll find the meaning of true love.
a photo of just us!

Now in those times I find myself
so lonely it may seem;
I close my eyes to drift away
and hold you in my dreams!

You may not be here physically
but yet right from the start
You've nestled safely in your place
reserved inside my heart!
Kenny Whiting Nov 2016
If I could say what's in my heart
or write it word for word;
You'd finally see just how and why
my mind is all a blur!

There's not a word been written down,
or one yet been defined;
That truly shows the love we have
or half what's on my mind!

In all the books that Webster wrote,
no meaning even close;
To once define what real love is,
so few will ever know!

It's far beyond just "one true love"
far past "my only girl";
It's nowhere near most any love
you'll find in this 'ole world!

If I could paint a picture now
describing what love is;
It'd be a perfect masterpiece
portraying when we kiss!

So much more than a perfect love,
so good it's near divine;
It's got to be from Heaven above,
this love of yours and mine!
Kenny Whiting Apr 2016
Do you question where you're headed,
   when the roll is called up there?
Do you feel you've been successful,
   for in Heaven to prepare?

Do you know Him as Your Saviour?
   Is your heart His Home to stay?
Have you trusted Him to fully,
   walk beside you everyday?

Have you lived your life for Jesus,
   telling others 'bout His love?
Have you read His Word He gave us,
   sent to others from above?

Have you let Him guide you always,
   down the bumpy roads of life?
Have you turned to Him in anger
  feeling sorrow, pain and strife?

Do you worship Him on one day,
   then you curse the very next?
Aren't you sure He's thought about it?
   I can bet you'd be perplexed!

Have you answered all these questions,
   without lying none at all?
Why not ask Him for forgiveness,
   or in sin your sure to fall!

He will always be here for us,
   so just call out His dear name;
If you'll give yourself all to Him,
   in His fold you will remain!

Once you give your life to Jesus,
   oh you'll feel much more alive;
And you'll know your name is written,
   in that Heavenly Book of Life!
Kenny Whiting Nov 2016
Have you ever thought about it,
where you'll go to when you die?
Do you have a Home in Heaven
far beyond the clear blue sky?

Have you ever asked forgiveness
for each sin you sinned today?
See My Jesus died Calvary,
His forgiveness paved the way!

Could have called a million angels
but not once He ever tried;
Bore the weight of ALL our sins there,
on the cross, He hung and died!

As He drew His very last breath,
with a spear stuck in His side;
Paid the price for ALL us sinners
Heaven's gate He opened wide!

Why not ask Him for forgiveness,
ask Him in your heart to stay;
Then the Home you'll have in Heaven
He'll prepare for you today!

Now you'll have a humble mansion,
waiting for you in the sky;
Then you'll never have to question,
where you'll go now when you die!
Kenny Whiting Oct 2016
I've dreamed a dream for many years,
   i've asked My Lord above;
To someday find that special girl,
   the one I'm dreamin' of.

There's been some people in my life'
   a few to come and go;
But never once I found my love,
   'til you I came to know!

You walked into my life one day,
   you caught me unaware;
You smiled at me your gorgeous smile,
   to steal my heart right there!

We hit it off though rather quick,
   I knew right from the start;
Though some have tried, you'd be the one,
   to soften this 'ole heart!

Two broken hearts both mended now,
   two shattered dreams repaired;
With special kind of love so strong,
   too few could 'ere compare!

A gift from God, an answered prayer,
   a miracle it seems;
Since now in life I've got my girl-
   that Angel in my Dreams!!
Kenny Whiting Apr 2016
Good morning to you gorgeous love,
  you've been on my mind.
Your popping up in all my dreams,
   Your of the rarest kind!

You make me feel most everyday,
  a true and special love;
You show me oft that I'm the man,
  you're always dreaming of!

For since you've came into my life,
  my heart has found its place;
My days are so much brighter now
  while walking through life's race!

I never thought I'd find such love,
   now possible it seems;
Since now I've found what I've not had
  the Angel in my dreams!
